The last time a party pulled off three or more consecutive majorities in Ontario was a string of eight mandates the PCs won between 1945 and 1971 .

Doug Ford said he called the snap election because he needs a renewed mandate to deal with U.S. trade uncertainty.

His main rivals have suggested the unusual winter campaign is Ford ’s gambit.

E. coli outbreak in Walkerton and meat-packing scandal in Aylmer fuelled campaign-trail criticism of Tory cutbacks.

The NDP fell further from its previous election result and won seven seats.

Voting hours had to be extended in some areas after bomb threat and threatening phone calls stopped some staff from showing up to their polling stations.
